And pick out the errors in this: Spring is here as sunny weather sweeps Britain - quite apart from the fact it's overcast today ... I'm not sure where the weeks of bitterly cold weather got to and England's 'normal 9.3c' is the average maximum for the month, so we expect many places to record much higher temperatures every year. As indeed they do. I have no idea where they get the idea this 'heatwave' will last till Easter, either. It does look like being a mostly dry and settled month down here though - not good for the water table.

The idea of this blog is to produce a regular round up of global weather and related news stories which then acts as an archive. Some links may be lost in time but by searching the original headline on Google it should be possible to find related stories. Additionally, it gives me somewhere to add my own thoughts on some stories, as the mood takes me.
